Instead, it sometimes worsens when putting oneself back into family life.

Savannah opened up about feeling emotionally disconnected from her parents since their release. She said she loves them deeply but senses a gap that wasn’t there before. Savannah also shared how she could notice trauma triggers in her mother but not in her father. Todd explained why this disconnect might be happening. He said everyone in the family had a “reset” moment while in prison.

Because of that, Todd believes Savannah’s trauma is still very fresh. She had to stay in control while others could pause and process. That emotional weight, Todd says, is something she hasn’t been able to release yet.
